At the minute, we can’t access the blogs on laptops so I’m afraid this is being done on an iPad! It won’t let me add files so I’ve had to copy and paste it in here. Not very user friendly but at least you can have it now. I’m sure you’re relieved!

Grammar
This week you have looked at how to correctly punctuate speech within text and how to choose powerful reporting verbs. Can you write a conversation between 2 jungle characters which shows what they would say to each other and how they would say it?

-Use speech marks (inverted commas) around the spoken words.
-Close speech with punctuation – , !?.
-Use a powerful reporting verb e.g. babbled, screeched, squawked.

Remember that you need to also include sentences to describe what the characters are doing to help the reader understand the scene.

Maths

If you are working towards Level 3
Can you work out what the missing numbers are? Show what calculation you used to find the missing number.
15 + 22 = _ – 20 21 – 6 = 2 + _ 10 + _ = 100 – 20

If you are working towards Level 4:
Can you find the missing numbers, using your column addition and exchange subtraction skills?

110 + 45 = _ – 45 200 – 125 = 17 + _ 950 + _ = 225 + 1100
